By Catie Fry |Monday, January 06, 2014

Hapag-Lloyd is eliminating one of the three loops it operates on the North Europe-East Coast South American trade, returning to the two-loop pattern it offered before April 2012.
The Brazil La Plata Express service will be terminated, but the carrier said it will maintain the Brazil-River Plate Express service offered through slots on the Hamburg Sud-Alianca North Europe-ECSA service, Alphaliner reported.
It will also continue the Brazil Express service offered through slots on the North Europe-ECSA service that is jointly operated by MSC, CSAV and CMA CGM.
